This is a great text, but I have stuff to say about one particular point.

This creates a sense of ‘neutrality’ at the base layer (hello to all the people whose eyes start twitching every time they read the claim that social software can ever be neutral), with value-based and opiniona[...]

Por algum motivo imagens vindo de instâncias bolha.one e ursal.zone tão quebradas aqui no Wafrn pra mim :blobfoxcryreach:

Did you switch off discord? I'm on Stoat. I literally switched to Matrix. I'm on Signal. I'm literally on WhatsApp. You can probably find me on Microsoft Teams. Dude i switched to Google Chat. I'm on IRC. I went to Pluxer. You can find me on Pluxer. You can go to Pluxer and find me. L[...]

I can quite firmly say that this isn't the case anymore. AT Protocol's OAuth had a bit of a rocky start because of permissions, but permission sets are now pretty much generally available.

Basically this was a UX issue where users believed an […]

It's ok, we have alternatives to the lava lamps

Conseguir ver os pronomes no Wafrn enquanto navego, de contas pelo fediverso, do wafrn, e até do bluesky, é maravilhoso

I wrote about what I've been calling "The Everything Account"

If you're familiar with The Atmosphere, you already know how to get one, and this should hopefully help you explain it to others.

For those of you who aren't, you'll be surprised to know that you may already have one; here's how you […]

Pensando em que domínio poderia usar pra trocar o handle dessa conta no Bluesky

wafrn.vicwalker.dev.br ? Não sei se fico satisfeita...

Wow so while I was explaining how I got into the fediverse to @hongminhee and @2chanhaeng the tv in this cafe started talking about @peertube on #france24

@haubles just dropped the massive news that Mastodon is going to be changing the default signup flow on mobile apps to choose an instance thats geographically close to you instead of choosing mastodon.social by default!

We are excited to share that we are beginning work on a new onboarding experiment for #mastodon: Default Server Recommendations.

Our intent for this experiment is to recommend the closest server geographically that is in the correct language during the sign-up flow. We will be running this […]

"When fediverse users say they don’t want to be bridged to Bluesky, they’re applying an ActivityPub mental model to ATProto infrastructure. In one sense this is a bit of a category error, the bridge connects to networking […]

Aeee consegui logar nessa conta pelo Bluesky em si

W announcement and branding confuse me a lot. Why wouldn't they at least add a paragraph explaining they will be using AT proto? Why go with "X but European"? They missed an opportunity to show how W will differ from X, focus on the right to exit, leveraging a growing ecosystem, better moderation.

so it turns out that when VS Code asks you “do you trust the authors of this folder?” what they mean is that it’ll auto-execute .vscode/tasks.json if it exists, which can include shell commands.

maybe that’s too many features. you can’t hold all these features. put a few features back

FUN FACT: Nostr architecture is *a lot more* decentralized than fedi and bluesky.
UNFUN FACT: Nostr is full of nazis that will call you slurs and try selling you crypto. Probably in that order.

The map also has a toggle to see the Fediverse, it's pretty cool to explore :blobfoxaww:

Disclaimer: of course, if the instance/server/whatever you want to call it is using some tunneling, the location might not be correct #ATProto #ActivityPub

Launching their new social network, W, the EU posted a map of where other social networks are hosted. It showed nothing in Europe.

But their map is wrong.

Here's what Bluesky and the broader Atmosphere actually look like

Bypassing Bluesky's 3 minute video limit to upload a 45 minute video using the video.blacksky.community CDN

even aside from the ID requirement, naming your platform "W" based on X's name is poor messaging. you're basically admitting that you have nothing original to offer but "euro X".
X is bad and you shouldn't let them set the frame
